I almost lost hope but now advanced SOX resampling settings are my long time almost forgotten dream come true
Thanks a lot

[Tim Curtis]

Thanks go to @bitlab for this nice feature :-)

Brilliant update for upcoming MoOde 7.0.

Still, I'm looking forward to the upgrade of Clock on/off since Tim promised last year, waiting, waiting and waiting.

Cheers!

Can you explain "Albums played directly if already in the queue"? I'm not sure what that means.

[Tim Curtis]

Currently, when you play an album from the Library its tracks are added to the end of the queue (Playlist) and the first track in the album starts playing. If you play that same album again from the Library its tracks are added again to the end of the queue and you end up with multiple copies of the albums tracks.

The new approach when playing an album from the Library is to first see if it's tracks are already in the queue and if so then start the first track playing. This avoids accumulating multiple copies of the albums tracks in the queue.

Ah gotcha. My default is always "clear play" so I'd never noticed this was an issue.

New additions include:

NEW: Library filters (Lossless, Lossy, Format or Directory)
This feature allows the MPD database to be filtered as part of generating the Library. 
- Lossless: Include tracks whose format is any of .flac|.aif|.wav|.dsf|.dff.
- Lossy: Include tracks whose format is not any of the Lossless formats. 
- Format: Include tracks of a specific format
- Directory: Include tracks in a specific directory.

NEW: Renderer overlay backdrop (Cover or Backdrop image)
This feature allows the current cover backdrop or backdrop image to be used as the backdrop for the renderer active overlay.

Other updates include [HiRes] badging for radio stations to differentiate from the [HD] badging for Albums, and extending the badging to Playbar, Playback and CoverView.

Heres some screen shots.
